As compliance consulting experts, we understand the hard work, resources and costs involved in setting up and maintaining a regulatory license.

Partnering with a regulatory hosting provider offers firms a faster, more efficient route to market – so you can focus on building your business while we manage the regulatory burden.

A regulatory hosting platform allows businesses (including start-ups) to operate under its regulatory license – instead of spending time obtaining and maintaining their own authorisation.

Our regulatory hosting platforms offer easy and commercially attractive solutions for our clients, who appreciate that:

  • Our solutions save them time and money, compared with obtaining their own regulatory licenses
  • We handle their regulatory risk and reporting, freeing them to focus on the markets
  • We manage all of their regulatory needs and obligations, including capital requirements, ensuring they stay compliant
  • They can get up and running quickly (as opposed to waiting for FCA authorisation)
